	abstract = {We extend full-waveform inversion by Wavefield Reconstruction Inversion by including convex constraints on the model. Contrary to the conventional adjoint-state formulations, Wavefield Reconstruction Inversion has the advantage that the Gauss-Newton Hessian is well approximated by a diagonal scaling, which allows us to add convex constraints, such as the box- and the edge-preserving total-variation constraint, on the square slowness without incurring significant increases in computational costs. As the examples demonstrate, including these constraints yields far superior results in complex geological areas that contain high-velocity high-contrast bodies (e.g. salt or basalt). Without these convex constraints, adjoint-state and Wavefield Reconstruction Inversion get trapped in local minima for poor starting models.},

	title = {Total variation constrained full waveform inversion with continuation},
	year = {2014},
	publisher = {SINBAD},
	abstract = {Adding a total variation constraint to the Wavefield Reconstruction Inversion model proposed by van Leeuwen and Herrmann can improve robustness and remove artifacts by encouraging piecewise smooth solutions. However, if the parameter controlling the strength of the TV regularization is not well chosen, important details can be lost. We investigate continuation strategies that gradually reduce the strength of the TV constraint so that these important details are eventually allowed back into the solution. Preliminary numerical experiments suggest that this can improve the solution path and lead to better velocity models than if TV regularization were not used during the intermediate steps.},
